4 WASHINGTON dispatch contains the
following in regard 10 President Cieve-
lands plans for the summer: The presi-
dent Is not going to take vacation IN July
as has be en- said. The statement origin
ated with an enterprising newspaper re-
porter, who was apparently al loss for
an interesting news item. The president
has received an invitation to spend two
weeks of the early autumn hunting IN the
Adirondscks. It Is not improbable that
this invitation may be accepted, both by
himself and Mrs. Cleveland. The summer
months will be spent by the president
and his wife at their country home on
Teunallytown road. Mrs. Folsom Is at
present the only occupant of this house.
1t Is not probable that the president will
leave Washington again until be goes to
St. Louis in September.

4 Cnnsc of nistnrhnnre Remnrrh

CHICAGO, juno 1.-THE Chicago and
Western lines have been much disturbed
lately by the action of the Union Pacific,
Darlington Missouri and Fremont, and
EiRhorn and Missouri Valley roads in
raising the standard of live stock cars
from thirty to thirty four feet. This
had the effect of cutting the regular rates
east of the Missouri =iver and making a
less rate for long haul from Nebrasks
than for n short haul from Iowa. The
Nebraska roads to-day were pursuaded TO
abandon the new standard. The inter
ested lines reached an agreement that the
Nebraska grain rate should Se the same

The Hon Louise Pest.

WAsHINGTON, June 15.-Prof. Riley,
of the department of agricul-
ture, has made an exhaustive investi-
cation into the habits of the hop louise.
His discoveries are expected to prove of
great value to hop growers, as he has
succeeden in learning the habitation of
the pest during the winter months and
tracing it through various stages of in.
sect life. The professor believes that the
louse has been brought to this country
from Europe on European plum stock.
His discoveries render it possible to
check the ravages of the iouse, either by
the use of insecticides in tho spring time
before the insects have reached the wing
ed state, or by the destruction of shelter
ing plum trees.

\ Statement


WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The fonowiuc
statement with regard to the presidents
action concerning the proposed return of
the battle tlagS, was made at the white
house tonight, to representative of the
Associated Press: when the question
was proposed to the president by the
utant-genSral, an important feature
suggested was the return to the loval
states of the flags which had been cap
tured by the confederates and retaken by
onr army at the time OF the collapse of
the rebellion. They, with such confeder-
ate flags as had been captured from the
enemy by our troops Lad, it was repre-
sented, for long time lain uncared for
and neglected, packed away in boxes in
the cellar of the war department,
and had been removed to the Tttic as a
better place for safe keeping. The dis
position of the flags, which seemed 20 be
answering no good purpose where they
were, was the main point, and the con
slderatlon was presented to the president
that some OF the flags had been returned
to loyal states upon their request in in
dividual cases and the rest, if desired
might as well all be returned together
The return of the confederate flags which
were with the others IN the department
was suggested but there was hot
THE SLIGHTEST THOUGHT or INTERFERING
in any way with the captured flags now
held by any stats. The fact, apparently
received with favor by the company, that
lately in one or more cases northern
troops visiting their late antagonists at
the south had returned 70 them flags
which had been captured in battle from
these whose hospitalities they had receiv-
ed, and the futher fact that northern
troops who have within a short time besn
visiting southern battle fields and spoke
in the warmest terms of the kind and hos
pitable treatment they received from
former confederate soldiers and the fact
too that soldiers from the north and south
were just gathering at Washington to
meet friendly in Gompetation at the nat
iOnal drill seemed to indicate that il the
union flags were returned to tGe loyal
states which had lost them IN battle il
would not be
INCONSISTENT WITH THE FKArERNAI SENTI-
MENT
which seemed to be prevalent to offer. A.
the same time. to the governors of the
state formerly in rebellion, this re
turn of the flags which we had taken
from their soldiers. The right of the de
partment to make these returns being
questioned by the president, such right
was distinctly asserted and precedent
alleged and thereupon MS oral assent
was given to the proposed action. The
matter was dismissed from his mind IN
Til the comment thereupon within the last
day or two brought it again to his atten-
tion when upon personally examining the
law and considering the subject more
carefully he satisfied himself no disposit-
ion Of these flags could be made without
congressional action, whercupon he di-
rected the suspension of the operation by
the letter made public this evening.

A Successful Matchmaker,
Honey As Medicine

Lastlyeaa a French tourist, NJ. Guilmeth
by name, paid a visit to Tasmania, and
being much interested in its indigenous
vegetatihn, examined the numerous var
ieties of the eucalyptus which flourish in
thas island. His Investigations brought
him into contact with a small black bee,
which stores its honey in the E. globulus.
He found this honey emitted a strong
oder as of gum leaves. Collecting some
he carried it to Europe for the purpose of
having it analysed, and of ascertaining
whether it possessed any special qualities.
1t was carefully studied by NJ, Thomas
Caraman, a well known chemical anaylist,
and LIE Temps of FEBRUARY , said that he
had discovered in the honey some inter
sting medi cinal virtues. 1t exercises a
moderatlng influence on the action of the
he1rt: it is anthithermic-tha is to say,
it lowers the temperature; it facilitates
the respiration, for it is anti, catarrhal, it
is febrifuge acd parasiticsde: and it has
been found efficacious in oVerco3slng OBJ
stinate cases of bronchitis and even of
whooping cough. 1t is almost Unnecessary
to add that the various preparations of
eucalyptus makes an important figure in
the French Pharmacopaia, and its ther-
apeutic value is far from being fully as
ertained at the present time.

A Sharp Dog
Chinarn .Innrnal

A lady living on the North Side is the
owner of a very sagacious Newfoundland
dog called Don. The other day Don, who
quite frequently goes to the grocery or
market for his mistress, was sent after
basbet of eggsr As he was returning
home, carrying his basket with a proud,
digniied air, he met dog against whom
he evidently had an old grudgo. He set
his burden down carefully on the walk;
then, giving a bark of challenge, started
after his enemy on..a dead run. A friend
of his mistriss, who WITNESSED this pro-
ceeding, picked up the basket and carried
it to its proper destination. Meanwhile
Don, having vanquished his foe, returned
to the spot where he cad left his eggs. On
discovering that they had disappeared,
he ran around frantically, trying to fud
them. Finding his effort vain, he sat
down and lifted up his voice in howl of
anguish, as visss ssons of his mistress whip,
or at least the loss of his dinner crossed
his mind. Suddenly he started for home
at brisk trot. Sneaking ont into the
back yard, he picked Us an old, discarded
basket that lay IN one corner of the yard,
and carried it in and deposited it at the
feet of ois mistress. He had been taught
that when he goes to the grocery for any
article they do not happen to have, to re-
turn and give succession of sharp barks
This he proceeded tn do, as if to say,
"They were ous of eggs to-day"
